Sorry to say but this was an exclusive SBS review build blog for the Military Modelling magazine site that I finished just today(Feb 2,2016),and if you were wondering about my absents now you know.
As a kit build review I didn't add anything that wasn't in the box other than some spare projectile decals.
For the finish Mig's Ammo Modern Soviet paint was used along with a filter and pin wash to bring out the detail. NO weathering or flat coat so as to show the novice builders you don't need to throw the kitchen sink at a model to get satisfactory results.
Sure hope I got my point across and did a great kit justice.
Travel Mode:
Firing Mode:
Several design features are operational with a little extra effort and the frugal use of glue. Most builders just assemble the kit for travel or firing but since it was a review build I built it so all the movable parts worked showing the right side firing and the left side travel.
Don't let the parts count scare you off because a lot of the total are just track links.
Thanks for your patients
